Hedgehog Day attracts hundreds to Skegness reserve
Hundreds of people turned out at Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve, in Skegness, last week for a chance to meet some prickly individuals.
Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust held a Hedgehog Day at the Old Coastguard Station on Tuesday.
The drop-in event gave visitors the chance to meet real hedgehogs, brought in by the Skegness’ Two Hoots wildlife haven, and take part in hedgehog-themed activities, including stories and arts and crafts.

Volunteer Carol Holden, who helped organise the event, said: “It was a wonderful day with over 300 people who really enjoyed seeing hedgehogs and trying a range of quizzes and crafts with a hedgehog theme.”
